Paul has been a XO Jupiter Trumpetartist/clinician since 2006 and is based in Seattle, Washington area. Juggling touring schedules with work at home, he can often be seen in the pit orchestras for The 5th Avenue shows in Seattle. Paul is also an artist for Pickett Brass Mouthpieces with his own line of signature mouthpieces.... "Lead", "Studio", classical, jazz, as well as flugel horn and piccolo trumpet models.

For two years Paul toured Disney's hugely successful musical based on their movie, "Newsies" starting in October 2014. Newsies was the winner of the 2012 Tony Awards® for Best Score and Best Choreography. The show sold so well everywhere it played, and in Chicago it broke the all-time weekly sales record with the highest grossing show in Chicago's theatrical history surpassing Wicked and Lion King. "Seize the big screen!" A live filmed production of "NEWSIES" played in February 2017 in select theaters breaking box office records! www.newsiesthemusical.com.

Currently you can find Paul touring with Disney's amazing new First National hit musical, "Aladdin" where he has also been conducting masterclasses and clinics while on tour in USA and Canada.

As well as Paul's busy playing schedule, this spring he will be working on a brand new Master's Degree program as the first person in the program being built for professionals with busy playing and teaching schedules. Along with the program, Paul has been writing a book which we believe is the first one on the topic of becoming a Broadway musician dealing with the special skills required for this field.
